"Be gentle, I can't walk, you have to carry me," Jiang Xian'er said angrily, leaning on a mercenary.
Mu Shanhai, who was standing nearby, immediately explained, "Her foot is injured and swollen, so she can't walk right now. I've been carrying her on my back the whole time."
"Damn it, this is such a hassle. Women are such a nuisance." Wu Hao frowned, his face full of dissatisfaction.
He seemed very unhappy about this, which greatly reduced their speed.
However, there is no way to deal with it right now. Killing Jiang Xian'er is not something Wu Hao should be considering.
If Jiang Xian'er were killed at this point, the consequences for Wu Hao would be far too severe.
"Someone come and carry him on your back," Wu Hao said impatiently, pointing at a mercenary.
“If your father weren’t Jiang Tao, I would kill you right now. Jiang Tao is a bit of a problem, not easy to deal with.”
If he were to kill Jiang Xian'er now, Wu Hao would face the revenge of the entire mercenary alliance of Hope Town. He certainly wouldn't do something so foolish.
As long as he hasn't left his current territory, he can't make a move against Jiang Xian'er. It's troublesome as it may be, but Wu Hao values Jiang Xian'er. It has to be said that Wu Hao has really found benefits this time, far more profitable than what he did in the past few years.
"I wonder how they are doing now?" Wu Hao glanced behind him, somewhat worried. If Xiao Wu and the others appeared with their men at this moment, it would be a huge threat to Wu Hao.
But thinking about it, Wu Hao smiled faintly. He wasn't afraid at all. If he were angered, none of them would have a good outcome.
Let's just perish together; at worst, we'll all die together.
"Hey, what do you guys think we should do if our boss is really in this situation?" The mercenary who had mentioned Lina earlier suddenly whispered to another mercenary beside him.
At this moment, he also thought of the consequences for Lina. With Mu Shanhai's words, he must have been traumatized, but he couldn't say it directly. The final result would probably be death.
Fortunately, he was at the very back, while Wu Hao was at the very front.
"I don't know, why think so much? The boss isn't saying anything, is he? All of that is fake. This guy is a very capable person, so his words are definitely powerful. Don't believe his nonsense." Another mercenary shook his head and said, seemingly unconcerned about the issues Mu Shanhai had raised earlier.
"Hey, you, did you only realize this when you were about to die? I didn't mean anything by it. Think about it, shouldn't we be protecting ourselves right now? No matter what, if what happened to Lina had really happened, wouldn't we be in big trouble?"
The mercenary thought about it and felt that there was some truth to it, so he replied, "What you said is true, but Lina and the others are useless to them. But thinking about it, it's a real pity. Even if I die, I won't get to experience it."
"You idiot, I really don't know what you're thinking about all day long, you're still thinking about a dead person right now."
"Bullshit, how do you know she's dead? Maybe she's not." The mercenary glanced at Wu Hao in front of him and whispered, "But I thought of something: if we make money this time, where will we go next?"
"By the way, you mentioned this. I haven't quite grasped it yet. He might really kill us. Do you think he'd share all that money with us?" The mercenary continued, "Think about it. Did we ever enjoy those villas at the rest stops? What kind of garbage places did we stay in? We weren't even given any good food."
"Damn it, now I understand why you think that way. Now that you mention it, it's true, it's indeed a bit difficult to be with him, hmm..."
"I have an idea. What do you think? How about we just kill this guy now, and then we'll get Mu Shanhai? Then the two of us can go make some money?"
While the two spies were talking, little did they know that Mu Shanhai had already listened to what they had said.
Mu Shanhai smiled, then quickly took a few steps forward, came to Wu Hao's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Suddenly, Wu Hao's expression changed. Although he didn't quite believe Mu Shanhai's words, he was still very cautious and worried.
"Let's take a break up ahead," Wu Hao casually said, pointing ahead.
Upon arriving at the resting place, Wu Hao looked at the two mercenaries at the back, walked towards them, and said, "You seem to have some issues with me, don't you?"
"Ah, no, of course not, boss, how could we possibly have bad intentions?"
"Really? I can tell you two don't think much of me. You seem to like Lina. I'm actually considering you two?"
"No, boss, why would you think that? Of course we have no other intentions towards you."
"Damn it, Wu Hao, so what if I have feelings for you? Is that a problem?" The mercenary who had mentioned Lina stood up and shouted at Wu Hao.
Wu Hao smiled faintly, his eyes suddenly sharpening as he looked at the mercenaries before him and shouted, "Is that so? All these years I've fed you and raised you, have you been eaten by dogs?"
"You think you're supporting us? We've always been the ones to help you out. You think you're in this position because of us? Don't be ridiculous. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't be where you are today."
"Great, really great." Wu Hao looked around, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Not bad, you've got guts. So, what about you guys? Do you have any opinions about me?"
He then looked at the other four mercenaries, but none of them offered their opinions.
"Just the two of you, huh? Fine, then get out of here."
Upon hearing this, the two mercenaries exchanged a shocked glance. Wu Hao's words, telling them to leave immediately, were unlike the usual Wu Hao.
"Fine, you're the one who told us to leave. We've repaid your kindness quite a bit over the years." One of the mercenaries glared at Wu Hao, then turned to leave.
Bang!
"you……"
"Wu Hao, you despicable scoundrel..."
Bang!
Two gunshots rang out, and two mercenaries fell to the ground.
Wu Hao stared coldly at their corpses, then looked at the others with a grim expression and said, "You all need to think this through. I'm not doing this for myself. I'm blessed, and you will be too. But there's one thing: if you dare to betray me, then you should also think this through. I won't be doing you any other favors."
"Walk!"
After saying that, he led everyone away.
Mu Shanhai, who was walking among them, smiled. The reason he told Wu Hao about the casual conversation between the two mercenaries was not for any other reason, nor was it to say that he wanted to join Wu Hao. Rather, at this moment, he knew very well that when the local forces could not be dealt with from the outside, there was only one way to break through them, and that was to start from within.
Let them gradually disintegrate from within, and then finally, you can directly intervene, causing the enemy to collapse completely.
Mu Shanhai did all this primarily to weaken Wu Hao's power, causing them to gradually lose faith in each other.
When Luo Chen and his group arrive, it will be easier to deal with them. They can directly eliminate two combatants, which is very important.
Even though Wu Hao was so smart, he still didn't understand Mu Shanhai's purpose this time.
“That’s right, it seems they really are as you described. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have been so polite to you.” Wu Hao glanced at Mu Shanhai and said.
"Hehe!" Mu Shanhai didn't reply; he didn't want others to know why he did this anyway.
However, Wu Hao's firing of the gun this time provided Xiao Wu and his men, who were chasing after them, with very important information.
"Gunfire, over there, quick!"
Upon hearing the gunshots, Xiao Wu quickly determined the direction from which the sound came and then asked, "Two gunshots! What's going on? Could something have happened to Jiang Xian'er?"
In an instant, the thought sent a chill down Xiao Wu's spine.
If something happens to Jiang Xian'er, the situation will become even more serious, and Luo Chen will have a much harder time explaining himself.
"Xian'er can't get into trouble. If something happens to her, we won't be able to explain it to anyone."
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, it shouldn't be Xian'er who's in trouble. Wu Hao would never kill Xian'er." Mike put his hand on Xiao Wu's shoulder and comforted him, "Think about it, Mu Shanhai is with them. The reason Wu Hao went to capture him is because he discovered Mu Shanhai. How could he possibly let Wu Hao kill Xian'er?"
"Let's hurry over there, it shouldn't be far."
As they spoke, the group continued running toward the direction of the gunshot.
About five or six minutes later, they arrived at the location where Wu Hao had killed his teammate.
"Look, there are two corpses here."
Mia pointed to the corpse in front of her and said.
"Isn't this Wu Hao's man? Why would he kill his own teammate?" Mia asked, puzzled. "It couldn't have been Mu Shanhai and his group who killed him, could it? Or were they still fighting each other?"
“Of course that’s impossible. How could Mu Shanhai and his men have killed them? Just look at where the gun barrels are.” Mike pointed to the corpse on the ground and then said.
Mia took a closer look and discovered that both bullets had hit the back of the head. Instantly, she understood.
If it were truly a head-on fight, how could someone have been shot in the back of the head?
"But why are they killing each other? It doesn't seem right."
"There's nothing unreasonable about it. It's normal for mercenaries to kill each other. This always happens when there's an unequal distribution of profits."
"Hey, we've found something here."
"There are hairbands here, they look like they belong to girls."
